About this tag
The smartsuite tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about running legacy Lotus SmartSuite software on modern Windows versions, particularly Windows 11. A recurring issue involves SmartCenter, the suite's central application launcher, failing to start automatically at system startup due to elevation requirements. Users report that while SmartSuite functions work in Windows XP compatibility mode, the SmartCenter executable (smartctr.exe) prompts a 'Requested operation requires elevation' error when placed in the Startup folder or enabled in Startup Manager. Troubleshooting steps include adjusting compatibility settings, marking the program to run as administrator, and verifying startup configuration. The tag reflects the challenges of maintaining older productivity software on current Windows platforms.
